Edward’s Faith Shines Through 2025 Texas Flood Tragedy

Honoring the Burgess Family with the "Faith Wins" Ring

By David Simpson JUL 29, 2025

Edward and Phyllis Brown, an elderly couple, are enduring deep sorrow after losing their cherished friends, the Burgess family, in the devastating Texas floods of July 2025. Edward seeks to share his heartfelt reflections through the media to honor their memory and support those affected.


The heartbreaking tragedy unfolded as a summer vacation turned into a waking nightmare.

The family was visiting Blue Oak RV Park in Kerr County over the July 4 weekend when torrential rains triggered flash floods.

Dad John Burgess, 39, refused to let go of his sons, even as rising waters swept through the site.

He was later found dead, and his sons, James, 1, and Jack, 5, have not been found.

His wife, Julia Anderson Burgess, 38, was also killed in the floods, relatives confirmed.

The couple’s daughter, Jenna, survived only because she was staying at a nearby camp untouched by the flooding.

Edward:“In Christ’s love, I see Jenna’s pain, orphaned by the Texas floods that took my dear Burgess family. I’m sharing God’s hope, giving every dollar to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support Jenna and others.”

Govt's Neglect Of Disaster Victims' Plight Worsens Struggle.

The National Weather Service office in San Angelo was understaffed during the storm, missing key roles including a forecaster, a senior hydrologist, and its lead meteorologist.

In Kerr County, where many of the deaths occurred, officials confirmed there was no formal flood warning system in place.

At Camp Mystic, at least 11 girls and their counselors were confirmed dead after raging floodwaters hit in the early hours of Friday

County leaders had explored installing one as far back as 2015 and again in 2017, but the plan was ultimately scrapped due to financial concerns, according to public records.

Due to funding issues, Kerr County lacked a formal flood warning system, worsening the disaster.
